Furnishing a Palo Alto home: what usually works
About three quarters of the Palo Alto homes we staged were single-family houses, including Eichlers and other mid-century homes with walls of glass and open plans. Houses here ran about 2,090 sq ft at the median, and the median recorded sale price was the third highest of any city we work in.
- In Eichlers with floor-to-ceiling glass, keep furniture low and float it off the windows; tall bookcases belong on the solid walls.
- Many mid-century homes have radiant floor heat, so choose rugs with a low-profile pad and ask about heat compatibility.
- Window coverings matter more than usual in glass-walled homes. Custom curtains or shades for the bedrooms are often the first thing buyers ask for.
Interior design for new Palo Alto homeowners
Most buyers move in with a few pieces and a long list of rooms to fill. 126 Design works from your floor plan: a designer drafts a room-by-room plan of real products with dimensions and prices, you approve it, and the same team that staged the house delivers and installs it. You can keep the staged look, change the style, or do just the rooms you need first.
- How HouseStage works: the five steps from closing to a furnished home.
- Buy the staging furniture: keep the pieces that were in your home.
- Whole-home furniture package: every room, planned from the floor plan.
- Custom curtains: measured and installed in your home.
- Home staging for listings: for agents and sellers in Palo Alto.
